What I think films do best

I think that films have the ability to take the viewer on a very intense and sometimes relateble or understandable story. The actors in film use their skills to accurately and skillfully portray all of the details of the film in short easy to follow segments. A novel on the other hand requires one maybe two chapters simply to establish the scene and mood. In film this can all be achieved by a 15 second camera shot of the characters surroundings. So using the ability to show highly detailed things in a relatively short time film can draw people in and make them feel as though they are their and one with the character making them have emotions for the things happening on screen. That I think is what film doe best.
